"Found the model collection from the BHW Mods site" dreamcastpast you genius you have saved im sure many of us a fair bit of work

that would be great thanks, another guy was saying he might be able to do that but he would need the katana coding books or something like that, it would be great to be able to extract animations

Is that not possible at all? I've seen animation work done in the past.

not at the moment no, to do that we would need a program to open the files on the disk and convert them to formats that are compatible with current animation/modelling programs

Well im gonna have a go at that for the next while, if anyone is selling a katana unit that would be great i know its off the subject but it would be great to get ahold of one.

well thanks to wude I got the whole extraction process working, only problem I have now is that it isn't working when I install the 3dr plugin so I can't open the files with 3ds max, anyone know how to fix this?

You could set 3d ripper to capture a .obj file.

not sure if i understood well, but 3d ripper must be installed after max

yeah I did that, I even tried reinstalling it multiple times but no luck, what version do you guys use?

max 7, 3dripperdx 1.8.1

I'll try with max 7 then as 9 is just not having it

oh and I found a way to lower the poly count on models so no more 200 poly's for 1 wall after extraction lol

well I finally managed to open it with max 7 but now the models are textureless

3dr or obj? let use the chat

I'm there
